  • Keyflower

    In 1620, a ship full of brave meeples set sail to cross the ocean and build a new life in the new world. These meeples who crossed the ocean on the Keyflower built a number of settlements competing for everything, including the buildings their settlements may have. In their first year, these meeples created their new lives.

  • Fields of Arle

    Fields of Arle is Uwe Rosenberg’s love letter to the home of his ancestors, East Frisia and especially the village of Arle. It’s a worker placement game that is unusual in not allowing more than two players, but is equally unusual in the number of options you have and factors to consider. It’s a big game, a long game, and a game that brings many aspects of medieval Frisia to life.

  • CO2

    A game about global warming and green energy, so many things could potentially go wrong with that. It could be dry and boring. It could be preachy. It could be trying to be educational. Or it could be great game of economy and strategy where you have to balance your profits against the possibility of global environmental disaster. Which one is CO2?

  • The Palaces of Carrara

    The city of Carrara has been famous for its marble since Roman times. It’s been used, by people who can afford it, all over the empire. In The Palaces of Carrara, you don’t take it quite so far, the furthest your marble travels is about 100km down the coast. But you wouldn’t want it to go further, anyway, because that short distance already gives you enough to consider if you want to win in this game, because for a game of only about 60 minutes, it sure keeps you busy.

  • Black Hat

    There have been many different ideas to spice up trick-taking games over the years. Black Hat’s way to do that is to add a game board where you move your pawns when you take a trick. A lot then depends on proper timing, you want to take a trick when moving on the board is the most beneficial for you.

  • Power Grid: The First Sparks

    For the 10th anniversary of the legendary Power Grid, designer Friedemann Friese came up with something special: he transported the games mechanics to the Stone Age. Gone are the days of burning coal, now you go hunt mammoths.

  • Pandemic

    Once again, the world is in dire need of saving. But this time it is not dragons, space aliens or even the other players around the table that it needs saving from. It’s diseases – plural.

  • Evolution: The Origin of Species

    Evolution is one of the more vicious card games out there – eating your opponents animals is a great survival strategy. But the game’s author is a biologist by trade, so at least it is scientifically acurate viciousness.
